Prompts act as questions that help users to customize the information in a report to suit their own needs.

I don't know of any types of prompts in ReportNet.

Using prompts is faster and easier than repeatedly changing the filter.

Cognos Report Studio provides several ways to create prompts. You can
use the Build Prompt Page tool
build your own prompt and prompt page
create a parameter to produce a prompt
create a Prompt directly in a report page

For every prompt u have to set a query and parameter

Prompts are useful for giving dynamic values.this gives user more flexibility.

that is values at the run time.

as soon as a prompt is created ?PromptName? will be created.

there are lot of prompts like:

value prompt

date prompt

date and time prompt

generated prompt

select&search prompt.

even though prompt can be used in report as well as in prompt page.

its better to place yours in the later.

will be interesting once u start exploring the properties like static choices default selections and others.

Have Fun!!!
